Worsened heartburn experienced

4 people found this helpful

I bought this for stress relief and would give it a five-star rating for that. However, I could only use it for four days before I had to stop due to worsening heartburn. On day four, I found myself consuming numerous Tums. Unfortunately, the heartburn side effect outweighed the relief from stress and anxiety.

Calm but painful

It is achieving its purpose by making me calm and allowing my day to unfold perfectly. However, I experienced a terrible stomach ache along with heartburn. I am sensitive to 5-HTP and had hoped that the delayed-release formulation would help. Unfortunately, after one pill, I needed three days of Ulcetrol and Glutamine to restore my stomach to normal. Taking it felt akin to consuming acid; I am reluctant to take another pill, but if I find myself in dire need, I might consider trying it with Losec.
